Two questions will be put on this November’s ballot to decide how the Pan and Fork property should be developed. One will ask Basalt voters if they want to buy a parcel currently owned by a development corporation that the town is eyeing for $3 million. The other question will ask voters to approve $4 million in park improvements. If both questions are approved, it will require about $7 million in bonding. The park improvements are part of what is being called “a base level” design, and is dramatically less than what was originally planned. The plan includes a band shell and public restrooms. The bonds would be paid back with property and sales tax revenues. Council is hoping take advantage of historically low interest rates on bonds.
